yup, Paranorman is a visual spectacle indeed, much like Rise of the Guardians, another immensely underrated 3d cartoon

I was invested from the moment Norman walked to school in the opening with the amazing main theme playing in background.

Yeah, that was amazing storytelling.

Agreed O.P!
Paranorman is just such a great movie.
Gonna re-watch it again this week to get in the Halloween spirit.
This and Monster House are awesome to watch around this time of year!

I thought Rise was solid on a visual level, but I think the script was bland. All the comedic beats that worked were the visual gags, stuff that the storyboard artists probably included themselves.

I saw the movie in a theater and when that part happened a woman a few rows in front of me made a disgusted noise, got her kids and left. Sad she let her personal beliefs ruin a movie for the kids.

What a sad person... I wish those kids luck.

agreed, merely from a visual standpoint. The Sandman was just incredible, and so was the bad guy whose name I forgot. Hotel Transylvania, which is perhaps the most impressive 3d animation out there also suffers from a rather weak script, which is a damn shame
